Jerry Seinfeld recently shared some interesting insights about his experience working with Hugh Grant on their upcoming Netflix movie, Unfrosted: The Pop-Tart Story. Seinfeld jokingly mentioned that Grant was a bit of a handful on set, describing him as a 'pain in the ass' and 'horrible' to work with. However, any tension between the two actors quickly dissipated after they shared a memorable dinner and bonded over drinks.

Seinfeld, who not only starred in the film but also wrote and directed it, revealed that Grant wasn't initially considered for a role in the movie. The character Grant portrays is based on Thurl Ravenscroft, the real-life voice of Tony the Tiger. Seinfeld humorously envisioned the character as a frustrated Shakespearean actor forced to play the iconic cereal mascot to pay his bills, a role he believed Grant was perfect for.
